Cal v. UCLA 10.17.09 Pregame and First Quarter Thread

Can Cal rebound from a couple of rough weeks?  We have the UCLA Bruins today.  Given that we haven't scored a TD since sometime in 2003 and won in LA since sometime in the mid 70s, I take nothing for granted.  Nothing.  Use this thread to discuss all the pregame and first quarter action.  And don't forget to vote in the CGB Insta-Poll.  GO BEARS!

Game will be on channel 788 (ESPN Gameplan package) for those who can’t watch on West Coast

DJ Holt getting the start over Mychal Kendricks

Eh???


One notable starting lineup change. D.J. Holt is going to start at outside iinebacker in place of Mychal Kendricks. Holt started getting reps on the outside during the week and defensive Bob Gregory had said he would start playing more at that spot, but never said he would start. Not sure if the decision is because Kendricks missed some practice time during the bye week with a shoulder injury, or simply a coach’s decision. Kendricks practiced without limitation this week. He leads the Pac-10 in tackles.

Reggie Carter gametime decision

LINK

Linebacker Reggie Carter, who sprained his knee last week against Oregon, is suited up and warming up on the field. The Bruins have said his availability will be a gametime decision.

Except Decker was playing a lot more zone… Cal’s playing a lot of man here.

by need4jahvid on Oct 17, 2009 1:09 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Out of curiosity

How much would a longer running start help kick offs? If our kickers get to a higher speed before kicking the ball, can’t they impart more force on the ball?

by BleedinBlue on Oct 17, 2009 1:10 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It won’t do much when they have noodle legs and when Alamar teaches them his directional kicking strategy

by royrules22 on Oct 17, 2009 1:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

There’s a a limit how much additional running would help. I’d have to guess that however much Tavecchio or whomever is running is already the optimal amount, since they could run all day if they wanted.

I'm watching on ESPN360, so I just saw the Riley touchdown to Jones

I think Avinash, HydroTech, or someone else who has regularly watched KR and studied his passing efficiency should look into this: Compare KR’s passing efficiency on rollout or PA plays to just three step drops.

I started thinking about this after watching Jonathon Crompton play out of his mind against UGA and it got me wondering about Riley, a guy with similar physical gifts and similar problems with accuracy. It’s almost as though Crompton/Riley are only able to use their physical abilities when they’re not stationary because the physical movement keeps their mind anchored.

by Nashville on Oct 17, 2009 1:13 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Mmmmm…Riley doesn’t really throw accurately out of bootlegs against USC. Maybe it was better earlier this season, I’ll have to check.

by Avinash on Oct 17, 2009 1:14 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I’ve been under the impression that Riley should roll out more.

But Riley’s best pass is the deep ball heave when he has protection. No question about that.

Just anecdotally, Riley doesn’t strike me as any more accurate while rolling out. Could be wrong, though.

designed rollouts or scrambles? Cal doesn’t really do three step drops that much.

Sorry, lack of terminology creeping.

What I mean are designed pocket passes vs. designed rollouts/PAs.
